My Project

Our goal is to positively influence the lives of less fortunate individuals in our community. Beyond academic instruction, an integral aspect of my role involves teaching students the value of kindness and the importance of empathizing with others.

Our current project is focused on aiding homeless teenagers in our vicinity.

We will prepare care packages containing essential items, which will not only provide practical help but also encourage my students to consider the realities faced by other young adults in challenging situations. Through this initiative, I aim to impart to my students the understanding that even a small act of kindness can significantly brighten someone's day and bring a sense of joy.
